Each culture has its own traditions, qualities and customs which makes them unmistakable from different societies of the people. The Pashtuns have a different and a specific way of life which is named as "Pashtunwala". It is the set of principles of Pashtuns that characterizes each activity of the general population and aides each part of their life whether that is social, cultural, economic and political. While, the term radicalization in its exacting sense implies a procedure in which individuals receive extraordinary perspectives or position including measures that should be taken for religious and political intentions to be actualized and taken after. Especially, amid the period of 1979 when there was the rule of Zia-ul-Haq, there were a ton of parts of the Pashtun culture that were affected in its essence from the policies of that time. It revised and changed the hundreds of years long customs and services of Pashtun culture into a radicalized shape. Along these lines, thusly radicalization influenced the Pashtun culture and was infused with its components.
